A new month meansnew movies are headedour way – and the fall season is absolutely THE best time of the year for moviegoers. But not all features coming out in September are worth watching. Need a guide? FlickSided is here to help!

The month of September means the start of Spooky Season. We’ve got Brandy’sThe Front Room,the brilliant James McAvoy’s haunting performance inSpeak No Evil,and the twisted thrillerNever Let Gostarring Halle Berry. If you’re not a fan of horror, not to worry! The drama comedyHis Three Daughtersand sweet, animated tear-jerkerThe Wild Robotare sure to win you over.

As formovies we believe you need to avoid, we’ve got a list of them for you, too. Luckily, there aren’t too many. All of this to say, it’s going to be a great month for movie fans.

7 must-watch movies (September 2024)

  • Beetlejuice, Beetlejuicein theaters Sept. 6
  • The Front Roomin limited theaters Sept. 6
  • His Three Daughtersin limited theaters Sept. 6
  • Speak No Evilin theaters Sept. 13
  • My Old Assin limited theaters Sept. 13
  • The Wild Robotin theaters Sept. 27
  • Never Let Go in theaters Sept. 27

From this list, I’m the most excited to watchBeetlejuice BeetlejuiceandSpeak No Evil.The former for obvious reasons, including returning to the fun and nostalgic world ofBeetlejuice.I love that this is a sequel, rather than a remake. But my favorite part? That the original cast is back, because you can’t replace the iconic original stars. Michael Keaton returns as Beetlejuice and Winona Ryger as Lydia. The hilarious and talented Catherine O’Hara is also back as Delia. Icons, I tell you. And speaking of icons, our favorite scream queen Jenna Ortega will also star.

Moving on toSpeak No Evil,you only need to watch the trailer to know that James McAvoy’s performance is going to be a chilling one! He’s a great actor who gives it his all in any role he tackles, and this one is no exception! The psychological thriller follows a family on vacation who meet and befriend a family who reside nearby. The vacation turns into a nightmare when the unsuspecting family is invited over and are not allowed to leave.

Note thatThe Front Room, His Three Daughters,andMy Old Asswill all premiere on limited release, which means only select theaters will be hosting showings. If you’re not able to catch the movie in your local theater, either a wide release will follow soon or the movie will be available on streaming – we’ll keep you posted!

4 movies to skip (September 2024)

  • Hoardin limited theaters Sept. 6
  • Transformers Onein theaters Sept. 13
  • The Killer’s Gamein theaters Sept. 13
  • Megalopolisin theaters Sept. 27

Moving on to movies we can go ahead and skip, we’ve gotHoard, Transformers One, The Killer’s Game,andMegalopolis.I know fans of theTransformersfranchise are going to want to fight me on this, so please know this is only my opinion! But I have lost count of how many movies there are in the series. And, unfortunately, the majority are less than great. My interest in watchingTransformers Oneis so low, I may not even watch it when it goes on streaming.

Speaking of streaming,The Killer’s Gameshould have gone straight to a streamer rather than the big screen. The plot sounds great on paper, but I have a feeling this isn’t going to do well.

Do you agree with our list? Which movies will you be watching in September?
